The former chief executive of Rochdale AFC has been banned from football for two years after breaching English Football League (EFL) regulations.
The League Two club has been the subject of a disciplinary investigation following the failed 'hostile takeover' by the Morton House group last year. The EFL said it had charged the club 'and a number of other individuals' with alleged breaches of its regulations back in March.
In an update issued today, the EFL said all parties had since pleaded guilty to the charges. David Bottomley, who served as Rochdale's chief executive from December 2018, until June 2021, has been banned from working in football for two years.

Rochdale have also been handed a six point deduction, suspended for two years. The deduction will only be triggered if the club commits a further breach before October 2024.
EFL CEO Trevor Birch said: “The updated Owners’ and Directors’ Test is a crucial element of the EFL’s regulatory responsibilities in the interests of all its member clubs, their supporters and everyone else involved or interested in football.
'The breaches in this case were serious as they deprived the EFL of the ability to carry out the necessary investigations into the identity of the proposed new owners, their proposed business plans, and the ultimate source and sufficiency of funding necessary to support those plans.

About a month ago, Charlamagne the God was publically dragged for questioning Chief Keef‘s influence, absurdly claiming that the Chicago rapper didn’t “change the world.” Those defending Keef’s impossible-to-overstate legacy defended it on Twitter, and even exposed some new wrinkles: Lil Gnar, an artist signed to Keef’s label 43B, tweeted at the time: “im in spain rn n da biggest rappers here told me dey learned english jus to understand what chief keef says.” That’s pretty incredible! If I sound reflective, it’s because this week saw the ninth anniversary of Almighty So, a mixtape from Chief Keef that’s become a significant chapter in his career.

Manori Ravindran International Editor Netflix has signed up to U.K. ratings body BARB in what is a massive coup for TV audience measurement in Britain. BARB, an acronym for the Broadcasters Audience Research Board, claims to be the first industry-owned audience currency in the world that Netflix has joined. While BARB has technically been reporting on streaming numbers in the U.K. for a year now — numbers that have only been available to its broadcaster clients and prohibited from being published — it’s been doing so without the involvement of Netflix and Amazon as clients. (Disney+ is already signed up.) This is all going to change, however, with Netflix now willingly signing up to the ratings body. This means that, from Nov. 1, BARB will report Netflix viewing — in addition to streamers such as Disney+ — every day at both a service and a program level. This will be in the same way it reports viewing for more than 300 broadcast channels, broadcast video-on-demand (BVOD) platforms and advertising and subscription video-on-demand (AVOD/SVOD) services.
